Chapter 358 Refuge
Qin Zhongzhi hurriedly led everyone to sit down first, and then said: "Girl, don't worry, a certain person has just sent someone to call Mr. Gai Wu Xiaolang, and he must come after a while. The reason is that he should tell you by himself." Better."

Tan Yaoyu let go of half of his heart first, seeing Qin Zhongzhi's calm look, it must not be a big deal.It's just that the bearded veteran said he was desperate?Is it because his Chinese is not good and he used the wrong word?
Tan Yaoyu wanted to take advantage of the waiting time to discuss the bidding with Qin Zhongzhi, but he didn't expect Gai Wu to come soon.

But the moment Tan Yaoyu saw him at the door, she almost didn't recognize him.

Tan Yaoyu always said that he didn't like children, and Gai Wu was the one he disliked the most.This kid has a bad temper and a bad temper, and he has two faces.Every time she and Yun Daosheng are treated differently in heaven and earth.

But seeing Gai Wu today, it was like a different person in the same body.If Gai Wu used to be a stubborn rock, then at this time, the stubborn rock seems to have been polished again, becoming a diamond with sharp edges and corners.

Tan Yaoyu also knows that it is not appropriate to describe a ten-year-old child as cold, firm and numb.But this is indeed the feeling Gai Wu gave her at the moment.

Gai Wu didn't say much, and after bowing slightly to Yun Daosheng in the hall as a courtesy, he sat down behind the desk opposite Tan Yaoyu.

Tan Yaoyu looked at the child in a daze, this kind of bloody and violent aura, even Yaoyu himself could not achieve it when he was ten years old.

"What happened?" Tan Yaoyu no longer took any chances.

No matter how calm Qin Zhongzhi's attitude is, if it wasn't for the great change in his life, Tan Yaoyu would not believe that a child would be reborn in such a short period of time.

Gai Wu Mingming was sitting across the aisle, but his voice seemed to come from a long distance away, "The King of Beiliang gave us a reward for helping us save Guangwu City, do you know?"

Tan invites rain to shake his head.After she left Beiliang, she went straight to Xia Chaotong Wancheng, but she really didn't pay attention to Beiliang's news.

Gai Wu said with some sarcasm: "He made you the saint of Yi, and built a Taoist temple on Horseshoe Mountain to enshrine your god."

Gai Wu turned to Yun Daosheng again, his expression softened slightly, "He also appointed Daoist Yun as Yousheng Daojun, and gave him a badge of walking in front of the emperor. He allowed Tianshidao to preach in Beiliang and recruit children."

Tan Yaoyu noticed very keenly that Gai Wu directly referred to him as King Juqu Mengxun of Beiliang.If I remember correctly, Gai Wu had some respect for the King of Beiliang in the past.

Tan Yaoyu vaguely guessed something, she asked in a deep voice: "What about you? What kind of reward did you get?"

In fact, the mercenary regiment led by Gai Wu deserved the most credit for the Battle of Guangwu City. If they hadn't prepared for Guangwu City earlier, Guangwu City would have been defeated by the Hebei King's army long before the Northern Liang army arrived. Lian Ding occupied.

The sarcasm in Gai Wu's voice was even more serious, and he repeated the decree of the King of Beiliang without emotion, "One hundred good horses, one hundred taels of gold. Gai Tiantai's mercenary regiment was given the title of Tiantai Army and included in military registration."

"Military registration?!" Tan Yaoyu gasped.

Since Qin Zhongzhi intends to hire Lu Shuihu people, he has inquired about their situation carefully.

The Lushuihu people can be regarded as one of the tribes living in a relatively difficult life in the north.Their land is uncultivable and too small for grazing.

Before the Lushuihu people became mercenaries, the entire tribe was in a state of starvation and nakedness.

Later, the Lushuihu people did not know what kind of channels they used, and the men began to go out as mercenaries.

Some of them fight alone, some in small groups.The Tiantai army established by Gai Wu's father, Gai Tiantai, by his own ability, is considered a relatively large one in the mercenary regiment.

But the Tiantai Army is not unique. The population of Lushuihu was not large when life was hard. Later, the mercenary regiment formed and grew in size. The supplies brought back by the men gradually increased, and the population increased a lot.

This kind of loitering and bravery was included in the military, and it might be like a bandit who was recruited and became a regular army. It looks good on the face, but it is full of loopholes.Tan Yaoyu could guess how much the Lushuihu people would oppose this arrangement.

The army of Beiliang Army is composed of slave army and king army.The slave army is "raised" by the royal family, and is responsible for the dirty work of sending people to death and building defensive offensives.Essentially alive and dead.

The northern Liang army has some similarities with the military household system of the Wei Dynasty, that is, the generals raise soldiers.Soldiers' income can only be plundered on the battlefield.

If Gai Tiantai became a member of the royal army, it sounds like a good thing, but without the income of the mercenary group, Beiliang only had occasional conflicts with Xiqin, there were no battles, no spoils of war, and they had no family members with ranches. It's hard to make ends meet any more.

Gai Wu's originally calm face gradually became ferocious due to anger, his fists were clenched tightly, and his body was tense and straight due to emotional agitation.He controlled his emotions and told Tan Yaoyu and others what happened little by little.

When the reward from the King of Beiliang arrived in Lushui, Gai Tiantai dragged his sick body and knelt down to refuse the reward.

Gai Tiantai explained the difficulties of the Hu people in Lushui to Juqu Mengxun's envoy one by one, but Juqu Mengxun had already ordered that all the mercenary groups must be brought back.Not only the one established by Gai Tiantai, but also the other Lu Shui Hu troops.

What is most lacking in troubled times is population. Whether it is labor or soldiers, a large number of young and middle-aged people need to be continuously imported.

Tuoba Tao did not hesitate to worship Taoism and destroy Buddhism for the sake of population, how could Beiliang allow so many strong men to live freely outside.

The envoy of the King of Beiliang stated at that time that the Lushuihu people were allowed to relocate to Guangwu City to work, and the families of the mercenary regiment were exempted from the five-year labor tax.

In the eyes of the envoy, this kind of reward is already very generous, but the Lushuihu people themselves are not willing.

Older people don't want to leave their hometowns. Besides, going to Guangwu City to work is like half a slave. It's tiring and restricts freedom. Only a fool would want to go.

One party must take the person away, and the other party does not want to leave their homeland at all, so there was a quarrel between words, which eventually turned into a fight.

Gai Tiantai was already seriously ill, and he tried his best to quell the chaos during the dispute, but he was stabbed in the abdomen by someone.

As soon as Gai Tiantai died, the scene suddenly became chaotic.Amidst the wailing, the dead were dead, and the wounded were wounded.Once the killing begins, no one cares about the old, the weak, women and children.

When the envoys of Juqu Mengxun retreated in a rout, only a few of the old, weak, women and children survived, and the mercenary group also suffered heavy casualties.

The surviving mercenary group was worried that the king of Beiliang would send more troops to force them to join the army, so they all packed their bags and left the border of Lushui to seek refuge.

The Lushuihu people, who were not huddled together, are really united at this moment.They met Gai Wu and others who were rushing back to Lushui from Tongwancheng on the border of West Qin.

As soon as the two sides met, Gai Wu led the army, [-] mercenaries and [-] family members went south to seek refuge in Qiuchi.

　It feels like playing a game piece of equipment... Gai Wu's equipment is not easy to pick up.

　　Thank you for your understanding, Headwind, My S Only, and Yichen Sanren for their rewards.
